Old mac ran fine, in 10.7, needed to upgrade last summer to something above 10.7 to keep syncing iPhone pics. Now the thing runs super slow in El Capitan 10.11. Is the hardware just too old for the new OS? Or do I need to search for the problem? Thanks!
The standard RAM back in 2007 was 1GB. If you are still running with that, it would be super slow.
